5. Orange Peel
The peel of an orange that most of us have the tendency to throw away can be used to lighten your skin complexion.
This citrus fruit is high in vitamin C that works as a natural bleaching agent and helps treat hyperpigmentation. Plus, the citric acid in orange peel acts as an exfoliating agent to get rid of dead skin cells.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of orange peel powder with enough yogurt or milk to make a paste. Apply this paste on the darkened skin areas. Leave it on for 20 minutes. Then, gently scrub off the paste with wet fingers using circular motions. Use this skin-lightening pack 1 or 2 times a week.
- Alternatively, mix 2 tablespoons of orange peel powder with enough rose water to make a thick paste. Also, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and a little honey to the paste and mix well. Apply this paste on your hands and feet, and wait 15 to 20 minutes. Gently scrub off the paste with your wet hands, then rinse the area with cold water. Repeat 2 or 3 times a week.
